  167: Reaction to the Sony FX5 24.07.2026 31min

  Based on early reviews rather than hands-on use, this episode assesses how the Sony FX5 moves beyond the FX3 with internal RAW, Open Gate, CineAlta tools, a larger articulating display, and a detachable EVF. It also weighs important trade-offs: no internal ND filters, Open Gate initially limited to RAW, 32-bit float tied to the handle, and incomplete anamorphic support. The result is a strong fit for Sony-based freelance cinema shooters and crews, but a less natural choice for hybrid photographers, wedding shooters, and solo creators who need a single all-purpose body.

  165: Creative Pros React to Apple's WWDC26 Keynote 13.06.2026 54min

  Recorded at Apple Park with Adam Lisagor, this conversation gets into what stood out from WWDC26 beyond just the feature list. It covers the looser, more human feel of this year’s keynote, what it’s like shooting in Apple Immersive Video, and why Apple’s new Photos tools feel both exciting and a little uncomfortable. Spatial Recompose, Expand, and Cleanup open up a bigger discussion about AI, photography, memory, and how much a photo can change before it stops feeling real. The conversation also touches on the “Snow Leopard” vibe of the release, and why vibe coding might really matter for creative work.Special Guest: Adam Lisagor.

  164: Apple Explains Spatial Reframing 12.06.2026 35min

  Apple’s latest Photos app updates bring a new level of AI powered editing directly into the iPhone experience, including tools for spatial reframing, extending the edges of an image, and removing more complex distractions with Cleanup. In this interview, Apple’s camera team explains how these features use depth estimation, Gaussian splatting, private cloud compute, and new image models to make advanced edits feel simple while still preserving the original photo as much as possible. The conversation also covers Apple’s approach to privacy, its collaboration with Google on model foundations, and the use of metadata and SynthID watermarking to identify AI generated edits.

  163: The Great Frame Rate Debate 28.05.2026 31min

  Frame rates are one of those video settings that can seem more complicated than they need to be, partly because different creative worlds use them differently. Movies are still usually associated with 24fps, which comes from the history of film and the minimum frame rate needed to create convincing motion without wasting film stock. Over time, that look also became tied to narrative filmmaking, because we are used to seeing scripted stories presented that way. For online video, 30fps often makes practical sense, especially when the goal is to clearly show real products, screens, interfaces, or everyday motion. It can feel a little more direct and realistic than 24fps without going all the way into the very smooth look of 60fps. For YouTube, social platforms, tutorials, tech videos, and other reality-based content, 30fps can be a very sensible choice. 60fps has real uses too, but it is not automatically better. It can be useful for sports, gaming, home videos, fast-moving kids, travel moments, or anything that might need to be slowed down later. The tradeoff is that it usually creates larger files, needs more light, and has less motion blur, which changes the feeling of the footage. In lower light, that can mean more noise or heavier noise reduction, especially on phones. Higher frame rates are mainly useful for slow motion, but they also come with technical considerations. In regions with 50Hz lighting, 100fps may be a better choice than 120fps to avoid flicker. PAL, NTSC, and odd frame rates like 23.98 and 29.97 can still matter in certain workflows, especially when mixing cameras, timelines, and audio. There is no single correct frame rate for everything. Each one has a purpose, and it helps to understand what you are gaining and giving up when you choose it.
